So how many copies of Modern Warfare 2 will be sold after the first person shooter ship to stores on November 10. In GameTrailers.com's latest Bonus Round roundtable video chat, well know game financial analyst Michael Patcher believes the Infinity Ward-developed game will sell at least 10 million copies this quarter alone.

And that's on the low side. Patcher believes if Activision really goes nuts and moves on a major TV ad campaign, sales could be as high as 14 million copies. As we reported on Sunday, Amazon.com is showing that sales of the PC version of the game are about 8 percent of the total amount of copies of the standard edition. If those numbers are indicative of sales across the board for the PC port it still means the PC version will sell at least in the high six figures in terms of units sold.
